AnywhereUSB Installation Guide (90000405 Rev. F) – Page 1
Introduction
The AnywhereUSB
®
Remote I/O Concentrator is the first remote networking solution to utilize USB Over
IP
®
technology, breaking the traditional five meter distance limitation between USB device and host. Now
USB devices may be located anywhere on a wired or wireless LAN – without a locally attached host PC.
Since the host PC or server may be located remotely, AnywhereUSB enables devices to be deployed in
harsh or non-secure environments, making it ideal for point-of-sale, kiosks, surveillance, industrial
automation, or any mission-critical enterprise application. This Ethernet-attached solution provides five
USB ports to connect peripheral devices such as bar-code scanners and receipt printers, as well as Digi’s
Watchport
®
/V2 USB Camera and Watchport Sensors.
Cabling AnywhereUSB
To connect the AnywhereUSB Concentrator to a network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to your AnywhereUSB. Then connect the other
end of the Ethernet cable to a 10/100 BaseT switch or hub.
2. Connect one end of the power supply* into the back of your AnywhereUSB and the other
end into an AC outlet.
*Power to this product may be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” or a UL listed power supply
